Invictus06 got a reaction from ProudGrammy in Happy birthday to me.
What a difference a year (and sleeve, diet and exercise) make. On my birthday last year, I weighed 274 (@ 5'7 tall), and my sizes were 54-56 chest/jacket; 50 waist; 3X t-shirts. After sleeve on June 2, 2015, I'm now 200 lbs and wear 44 chest/jacket; 38 waist, and XL men's t-shirts. And I'm still losing weight.

Invictus06 reacted to Jerr_Bear in Worried about failure post op
Yes, I was fearful of that for a long time, and I've never been someone to let fear control my decisions. My love of food has always controlled me, and has caused me to fail many diets in the past. But after all my health problems in the last year, I became even more afraid dying of a heart attack before I'm 50, or losing my legs to diabetes. Like everything in life, it's a calculated risk. You just have to weight the pros and the cons. Lately the pros have been winning. WLS gives me a chance, it gives me hope that I can live a life that was always just out of reach for me. At my weight right now, if don't do something, I'm dead within 10 years. That is a serious sobering reality that I had to face. I think we're all afraid of failing to some degree, but you can turn that fear around into a motivator. Be the change that you want to happen.
